R. granulosa Keller in 'Engler, Jahrbuch, vol. xliv. p. 46 (1909). 
A small much-branched bush, with short, dark-brown stems ; prickles robust, 
straight or subfalcate, often geminate, intermixed with aciculi. Leaflets 5-7, 
oblong, biserrate, the upper an inch long, glabrous on the upper surface, pubescent 
and covered with large granular glands beneath ; petioles pubescent and glandular ; 
stipules adnate, margined with glands, with large free tips, glandular beneath. 
Flowers 1-3; pedicels short, erect. Calyx-tube globose, naked ; lobes entire, with 
a lanceolate point, glandular on the back and ed^ges. Petals unknown. Styles 
free, woolly. Fruit subglobose, small, naked, dark purple, crowned by the erect 
persistent sepals. 
This interesting new species forms a connecting link between the 
sections Ciiiiianio 7 neae and Rtibiginosae. From all the other species 
of Ciwiamomeae it differs in having leaves covered with granular 
glands on the under surface. It was found by roadsides in central 
Korea by Abbe Faurie, who has collected largely in Japan and dis- 
covered many interesting novelties.
